When spending your twilight years in a residential care home, you would expect life to be a little slower and certainly more sedate.
However one man has proved you're never too old to throw caution to the wind and live dangerously.
Raffaele Panicucci stunned the Italian authorities when he made his escape from a residential care home - at the age of 87.

He was found two hours later trying to drive the contraption down a busy motorway.
When police rescued the man, he told officers he was bored with life in the care home, in Montemarciano, Italy. Full story...
